The Phillies can stop caring after tonight for a week as they would clinch a playoff spot and essentially be locked into the top WC in the National League. Aaron Nola has had an up-and-down year but has been much better at home. Pittsburgh's Mitch Keller has a 5.49 road ERA and has been shelled in his past two away.

The Phillies should continue to play their regulars as they try to secure the top Wild Card spot in the National League. They will start Aaron Nola, who has a 3.44 ERA and 1.00 WHIP at home this season. This is a great matchup for him, given that the Pirates have scored the ninth-fewest runs in baseball. While the Pirates haven’t officially named their starter yet, it could be Mitch Keller, who is on regular rest. Although he is arguably their best pitcher, he has a 5.49 ERA and a 1.44 WHIP on the road. If he doesn’t start, the rest of their rotation is filled with underwhelming option. Whoever they go with, I’m on the Phillies to win.
